Yeah correct, I can replace it with consume_skb, didn't know about it, thanks. > But I'm not sure why you do the clone here, I don't see any requirement from > the icmp_send side, can you clarify? Is it because of the pull? >From the icmp_send side I think it's fine, however, this part might touch the original packet, especially ip_route_reply_fill_dst: if (!pskb_network_may_pull(nskb, sizeof(struct iphdr))) { kfree_skb(nskb); return -EBADMSG; } if (!skb_dst(nskb) && ip_route_reply_fill_dst(nskb) < 0) { kfree_skb(nskb); return -EHOSTUNREACH; } memset(IPCB(nskb), 0, sizeof(struct inet_skb_parm)); All of this is mostly there because we allow this kfunc for tc and especially tc ingress. At this stage, the skb might not have a routing entry yet and icmp_send needs to know the dev from this or fail silently. This is the original reason why I added the the net patches (patch 1 and 2) and it was also spotted by Sashiko when I tried to remove them[^1].
